Hi,
I need to get an imac soon since my current 4 year old MBP is getting ready to retire.
I am considering a 21" (base) imac since I dont want to spend too much right now. I will be doing web design, brochure and magazine design as well as some video editing. It will need to do a better job than my current MBP does dealing with my iphoto library (+50GB) -it feels jerky most of the times.
Today I was talking with a printshop that has a new 21" and i asked them about it and they told me that they are great except for the video card. She said that the video card was not powerful enough to work with large print jobs.
I am sure that the video card on the base imac is better than the one currently on my mac but I am concerned about what she said.
Is the video card as bad as she made it sound, and does it has to do with the performance of vector graphics and programs like indesign and photoshop.
